Made it to the other side!

Hey guys Well, I'm one week out from my surgery and wanted to let you all know that everything went smoothly and I'm doing fine. I'm having a little more pain than I anticipated, but thank the Lord everday gets a little better. I know that in a few weeks the pain I'm feeling now will just be a memory. I'm so happy to be on the losers bench; you guys sure kept my seat nice and toasty for me! Take Care, Rachel

Congratulations Rachel I'm just a few days post-op. Pain isn't bad at all but a lot to stomach grumblings -- I'm taking it that I need to walk more and I'll start on that in the morning.

Welcome Rachel. So glad you found your spot on the bench. aime

That is wonderful!!!! Keep us updated on your progress. I am still pre op. But soon. Bonnie R Island girl

Rachel, Best wishes as your WLS journey continues! It does get better every day. Hugs, Mo

Hey Rachel! I'm glad to hear the surgery went well and you're recuperating nicely The first few weeks/month is the roughest then it gets better and better. Take Care, Terry

Hi Rachel! I am so happy that your surgery went well and you are now on the "other side!" It seems like just yesterday that we were in the orientation class together. The pain was more than I anticipated also, but just getting out of the hospital made things better for me. There's nothing like being in your own home. I stopped taking the pain meds after 1 week. I am just over 3 weeks out now and it gets better each day. I've already lost 20 lbs. Remember to drink all of your fluids and get moving...take care.
